Faye Gibson Poet Verse

Baby Wishes

Precious, life sustaining oxygen flows
no longer; linking chord tethering me
severed, I lie upon hard cold table.

I see cloudy images--a table
holds my angel mother. Sweet red blood flows
from soft nurturing nest once holding me.

Mommy, don’t discard your babe. Look at me!
Life can be saved. An abortion table
Should not separate with death our love flows.

Love flows away. Save me from this table.

Charlotte Puddifoot August 3, 2014 at 6:02 AM this is such an original and hard hitting take on the theme, I would've placed it much higher! you've managed to say a lot with such a short, restrictive form; those first two stanzas are particularly strong - congrats on your win!
